City made of thin glass
Smoldering in pitch black
Eleanor felt her heart break in her chest. Kisa... Kisamoa... he...
Tears filled her eyes to the brim as she felt the first sting of betrayal darken her heart, and even as she looked upon the horrifying and awful bone monster being built, she didn't want to believe. She and Amalrik had worked so hard to clean up the beach together, and she had even watched as her cousin went into the water! They had helped him, and tried to do good and this is what was returned?
"I trusted you..." she whispered, sure that the evil god wouldn't hear.
Then, when Nyx's body fell, she saw her first death. Ellie was torn apart inside, tears streaming down her young face as Miranda, the little black dragon, shook from where she clung to a silver horn. Her dark face bowed downward, trying to hide the shame of her tears where others called to arms, prepared to fight. How did they summon the energy to argue when all she could feel was pain? Didn't they know their efforts were fruitless?
Perhaps the worst of it all is how she felt her heart change. The bruise left by Kisa spread, darkening the bright and shining light withing, and her anguish triggered the magic she held inside. Her body began to absorb the light surrounding her, turning her into a hazy, dark pit - like a hazy mirage.
For the first time in her life, she wanted to be alone.
